hoytshooter09 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Do have a lot of action with big bucks early here in Missouri but October is slow but the rut here where I live is awesome good buck to doe ratio so rattling and grunting works amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rack Hunter Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Early September Bucks It's hard to find big bucks when the rut takes off here its a lot of glassing and spot and stalk here a lot tougher than I'm used to haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStation46 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I have my own land so I am fortunate that I do not really pre-scout my land. Stand is up, ground blinds go out soon. The only time I really see awesome bucks is for the brief time of the rut. Otherwise the bucks outside the rut tend not to be very large.

suburbianbowhunter Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 My first bow kill was on opening day on September 26 in Tennessee. I shot about a 115" 8 pointer. Early season can be the best time to go in and catch these bucks off guard before they are alerted to hunter presence. Last year I had some really nice bucks showing up on my trail cam in august and I was in and out of those woods a lot to put corn out and check my camera. I never did bust any of the bucks coming in and out but they must have detected my presence because I never saw one of those bucks again, on camera or in the stand. So this year I will make sure to put out a feeder and not check my camera so much, and when I do I will have camo and scent protection.

HunteratHeart Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Early September Bucks This is my first year bow hunting but I've had great success in late November here in North Carloina. Usually thanksgiving day and later is when I tend to start harvesting. I harvested a 8 and 9 pointer within a month after thanksgiving. They were taken at different locations as well.

Always make sure you spray down before entering your hunting area. Make sure to spray anything that will come in contact with your sight. I always spray down and wash hands in scent away soap. Then always cover my tracks in and out with a cover scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
